COAT OF SMILES, parody art of iconic symbols. A duck's hat, a mouse's ears and a smiling yellow button. Three iconic things brought together in one artwork.

Satzinger & Hardenberg

After this long time, we team up again. One last time, for a good cause. Actually, I only make a very, very small contribution in contrast to what Nils already has finished, but I'm excited and will keep you posted ...

Bother!

I don't want to clean this up, the clean-up can't possibly compare to the energy of the rough sketch.

Cast-Off Poster Sujet: 'Duckland 2'

My original plan was to go with this very poster design, but then I came up with the idea of the ACME Brain-Wave Kit for the final version. However, I still like the atmosphere of this Spitzweg painting I put the characters into. The original painting's title is "Gnom" or "Dwarf" (1848), by Carl Spitzweg.

Ducks On Air: "Hallo FM4"

I was on the "Hallo FM4" radio show in Vienna, yesterday. I truly had a lovely time with the hosts Daniel Grabner und David Riegler. For about an hour long (segment 14:00-15:00) we talked about all things anthropomorphisation and - of course - ducks, available for playback until next Sunday: "Hallo FM4" (German)

John Cleese, ACME Corp. Sales Rep

John Cleese would make a perfect ACME Corp. sales rep in a Monty Python/Warner Bros. cartoons multiverse.
Imagine him selling The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch to Wile E. Coyote. Just saying.

By the by, I always chalk out a rough perspective grid for my drawings, to stay in good control about all things three-dimensional/lights/shading etc, I also try to keep it very, very loose and freehand for a more natural effect.
